About this event
CookingJoin Chef Anthony Sestito for an in-depth exploration of the ultimate Italian comfort food - lasagna! You’ll ease into the class with a beautiful spread of antipasti on arrival, and then dive into learning how to make a simple and versatile fresh pasta dough from scratch using the 'well method', with an emphasis on choosing the right flours and the importance of resting the dough. Chef Anthony will then walk you through the art of crafting the individual pasta sheets necessary to layering the perfect lasagna and will demonstrate a few of the many essential sauces to accompany this beloved dish. Each guest will create their own personalized lasagna to take home.
The class culminates in a light meal of freshly-prepared lasagna. Any extra pasta made in class can be taken home, along with PDF recipes and new skills to impress your friends!
